    Great condition and an opportunity to pick up a classic after it has been well sorted. This might help with inspiration .... https://petrolicious.com/articles/new-old-school-bmws-e23-745i-and-e32-750il

    When I had my '88 E34 535i I got 17MPG/17l/100KM (from mostly city driving) so yes it is thirsty for the level of performance. That's similar to my V8 X5 (currently showing 16) but less than my E60 M5. When Greg had the M5 his average was 17-18l/100KM but he did a bit more distance/motorway than me - I daily my M5 a day or two a week and a bit of motorway in the weekend and it averages 20. Regarding range - on our big Taihape-Napier roundtrip from Welly my M5 used 3 half tanks with a mix of enthusiastic driving and cruising.

    You're tempted because they are epic. PPIs are like house inspections. Not a guarantee, but you don't want to NOT do one - and best to find the fussiest nitpicker and stick with them. It would be interesting to compare notes on the approaches taken by different places/people. How low? Hmmm. The 'value' is all to do with how much you want a crazy V10 supercar. This will never be a sensible car and you do need to be up for running costs. I've plenty of stuff about RS6s being $1/mile (or km) in running costs. Who knows if they will ever appreciate in price ... wouldn't bet on it but I do think this will be considered a classic in the fullness of time.

    ALWAYS get a PPI done even if it doesn't look like a 'bargain' And without a thorough service history then we know it is a roll of the dice. I think this one does look promising considering what has purportedly been done.

    This is unusually cheap .... and it is in Chch ... and you have to like white leather

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1358361377 102kms $23900 ONO! Think I might have posted about this one before :| I think if you like the white leather (I do) and can keep it clean then this is a good proposition. Very tidy and well maintained by the looks of things. Has both timber and aluminium trim. "It's had a gearbox/clutch done and brakes/discs at 98000kms. I've serviced / replaced other things such as fuel filter / air filters / idle actuators, carbon fuel canister's, secondary air pump. Also has x4 new tyres."

    Howdy Kaine - good to see you here ? M3 looks epic.

    Can you PM me clutch and flywheel price?
  21. TermiPeteNZ
    Hmm. I'm still way too noob to warrant that investment! Yes - best not talked about. Agreed. They're very much a niche vehicle.
  22. TermiPeteNZ
    I prefer the aesthetic of the E60 sedan, but yes Andrew's is a beaut. In general BMWs look great in a bold blue.
  23. TermiPeteNZ
    +1 on that plan!!!!
  24. TermiPeteNZ
    I think they're banking on rarity - which is does indeed have. You'd think people would put a little more effort into their photography
